I was educated on cruising through Cruise Critic and continue to do so. Arranged or attended many M&G and additional activies for cruise critic groups. Just getting back into cruising and discovered many use F-B which I dislike for many reasons. IMHO It seems particpants on F-B hop on for fast answers and do no research on their own. Cruise Critic gives a wealth of info ..if one researches. Roll calls on Cruise Critic I found are much more enjoyable. Whole different generation of cruisers now..
